Creative Critical Reflection Question #1

My product heavily uses previously existing conventions and barely, if any, challenges them. The cover page of my magazine is based almost entirely on the cover page of a different magazine that I reviewed during our convention research, with the layout and color design being very similar to one of the magazines I reviewed. The layout of the title and other information in the title page is heavily influenced by conventions with the title being pushed up top and out of the way with the main focus of the title page being put on the picture over everything else. My magazine doesnt really challenge any conventions as I mostly wanted to use the road more traveled and what worked best rather than try to change it up and risk it end up being bad.
